Fine meat, English, served with brandy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flambe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'served with brandy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fine meat english' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'meat' becomes 'lamb' (lamb is a kind of meat).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'f'+'lamb'+'e'='FLAMBE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flambe that I've seen before include "dish on fire" , "cooked in spectacular way" , "(Of food) served in alcohol and set alight" , "Of food, sprinkled with alcohol and set alight" , "Burnt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
